Unforgettable film
I saw this film probably 15 years ago, and have never forgotten it. It’s about two World War I soldiers who are recuperating at a church. The one is trying to find the remains of the local priest – it’s been a while so my brain’s a bit rusty – and the other is revealing a mural on the church wall. There’s also a love story/triangle to it. It is fabulously acted and demonstrates the horrors faced by men during war time. Kenneth Branagh’s performance is worth the price of rental alone. Colin Firth manages to act for a change, rather than seem like he’s sleepwalking. (Check out Apartment Zero, another older and decent film.) Exceptional!

A minor disagreement with the previous commenter
I loved this film, and I’m American. Admittedly, when I first saw this movie I’d already been to the UK twice, but I had very little difficulty understanding the film or its subtleties. The acting is superb, and the situation delicate and well presented. I’m not sure that simply being English enables one to understand the film. I really had no difficulties with it whatsoever.

As I said, its plot is subtle and presented with as light a touch as Birkin uses when cleaning the fresco. The scene where Alice picks up the green apple and taps it and smells it as Birkin watches from afar is so luscious and yearning and sweet.

I have read the novel as well, but I must admit, I preferred the film. I am fascinated by the effects of WWI and the returning survivors on the inter-war society of Britain, so to me that was the real value of it, beyond its gentle bittersweet melancholy romance.

I will agree with the previous poster, that the film is a paean to the Yorkshire people and countryside. The scenes with the Stationmaster and the other families are very well-drawn. I will also admit that I wished I’d had subtitles the first time I saw the movie. But I saw it so many times after that that I picked up the words pretty quick.

Anyway, I definitely think that any one can enjoy this film if they are patient enough and appreciative enough to let it unfold in its delicate way. If you don’t expect fast-paced plotting and if you do like excellently and lovingly drawn characters, you’ll love this film.
